Chris Paul out with shoulder injury Monday night against Knicks

Chris Paul is sitting out of Monday night’s game with a shoulder injury. This is really the first we’ve heard about the injury, but it doesn’t seem too serious. From all accounts, if he had to play, he would be more than fine to do so.

Given the nature of a preseason game, it’s definitely not imperative for Paul to play. The last thing the Rockets want is him playing and then having this turn into a more serious injury.

We’ll update his status for Wednesday’s game in Memphis.
